The Acts church: fulfilling its purpose by power of the Spirit
The church is the community of people who follow Jesus. In the book of Acts, the purpose is to make crystal clear that the life and work of Jesus continues in the life and work of the church. Luke, as a companion of Paul had the privilege to be chosen by the Holy Spirit to record the early history of the believers. He is the best source about the first apostles’ life and travels because he was a personal witness of what happened.
In both his account in the gospel of Luke and in the Acts of the apostles, Luke covers a timespan of about seventy years, from the birth of Christ to the birth of the church and its early years of expansion. The church is God’s design like the temple of Solomon to host the presence of God. We are the living stones that host His presence and His kingdom cannot be shaken.
